Our Story

In 2013, Unsplash launched as a Tumblr blog with 10 high-resolution photos that could be used for anything. Today, over 10 Unsplash photos are downloaded every second, double any other image platform.

We’re building a community where the principles of sharing and openness have taken the place of copyright and red tape. Instead of photos being hoarded and shut down, photos on Unsplash are given as fuel for creativity.

A photo featured on Unsplash is now seen more than the front page of The New York Times.

Who you’ll be building with

Our team is made up of people who enjoy making things people love. We designed our company in a way to get as much of the stuff that’s not the creative work out of your way, so you can do your best work.

We don’t believe in a top-down, shoulder-tapping, 9–5 type culture. At Unsplash, you have the autonomy to manage yourself. We don’t work set hours. We respect flow. We believe you should be able to structure your days for what makes you feel the most energized and creative.
